I applied through university. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2019
Interview
I was given a few coding questions in the language of my choice and after that I was asked some questions on strengths and weaknesses, and a chance for me to ask questions at the end. Pretty standard process overall.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
String manipulation (replace certain characters in a string with other characters) + edge cases !!! I was asked to walk through my code, identify all edge cases, and modify my code if it was not robust enough.
3 rounds of leetcode medium, 2 questions were very easy, the last one was really hard (it was a binary tree question). They asked about space and time complexity. In terms of structures it was straight forward but the question itself was hard
Behavioural round consisted of "Tell me about yourself and why you wanna work for microsoft and resume screening. And technical interview consisted of 2 LC question 1 medium and 1 easy.
straightforward. directly jumped into data structure and algorithm and then a few fundamental computer science questions especially database management system and operating system then 2 or 3 questions related to resume.
